You may never love again
There is always God
Consciousness itself 
For you, my friend

If I am the peace that makes the world go
Then why would I continue to struggle so?

Negative, A Null









No one likes negative feelings
We automatically resist them
So if we stopped resisting them
And let them come up in silence
Would they still be negative?

That wants to fail?

Vibration






I never met a poor man
Who was pulling all the strings
I never met a rich man
Who was wanting anything

They tell me, I can have it
If I hold it in my heart
In this world to another
It's time to make my start

Unholy Water


Into my head
Like loving dead
I should've took heed
You wouldn't die with me
But you took another
Though you claimed no lover
So in the end
My vanished friend
You showed me
Love won't last
Forever
In this life
Dear Heather

Stuck in my craw
Perhaps just letting go
Is best after all

Just might effect
All ends

Hold I to End Suffering




Mind keeps spinning?
Making happiness die?
Then the only solution
Is Holding I

I fear for this!
I long, my dear!
Hold I and the mind
Goes very clear

All of your worries
As you will see
Stop spinning and vanish
Hold I and be free

The Dandela Effect






I once knew a world
Where I fit
Supported by stranger and friend
I long to return
Nurtured by it
And for all my suffering to end

The Light That Shines





There's a light that shines
Throughout my world
No matter day or night

For the light that shines
Illuminates my all
And could be the reason why

Learning to Die





Love becomes hatred
Failure's fate
And these are the truths
I can't escape
But die to the moment
And I'll be free
Rich man, poor man
No one, me

Where is My Friend When I Need You Most?





What to say
To a world
Where I hold such little sway
And where longing
Only seems
To keep you away?

On the Authorship of Fading Worlds





Life's display
Comes from me
I sense

But who can say
Why it won't portray
My ends?

The only peace in this world
Is staying with that
Which is always there
No matter what

Eclipse








Life still tells him 'no'
But at least he found God
Upon that hill
Before he goes
Though others would deny it's so

Making my Peace






When no one else will help you
Views unpopular
"Get him, he's odd!"
Then the solution becomes simple
Let go
And turn to God

The View from On High









Confidence precedes success
Not the other way around
Ask anyone who has had either
They dwell far above ground

Things Can Only Get






When the fear becomes so much
That we have no choice
But to go beyond it
We realize that the fear itself
Is the problem

The Joy of Nothing







By all means, do your thing
Or not
But base your happiness on nothing
Because that's always there for you
No matter what

Genocide Article II C






What's the only group
That one can never advocate for
And what can be the only result
Of such an arrangement?

Light Through Marcusian Clouds







If 'Diversity' is so wonderful
Why does it have to be forced
On everyone?

Tantalus Said to Daedalus




Conscious, I?
Spread my wings, high
From this world
That can deny
And if I crash back down
Then I'd know
Why
With my wings
Still by my side

Or they may not, you see
But that from which all things arise
Is always there
For me

Beautiful in separation
And when it's not

In present sensation

The Inner Critic




Every morning, when I awake in bed
It says, "If you don't do this,
then you will be dead!"
But I know the same would happen
If I did the other instead
So perhaps I'll just do
What feels right to me
Rather than the recording
In my head

To Know the World






Nothing is solid
Space only
Energy in consciousness
Yet it feels so real
And that's what really matters

Zero or O







There is a life
Call it Zero or O
And if I let go
Of resisting it
Would it let go
Of resisting me
Would I be free
And just be O?

The Dan in the Clouds




They move across the sky
I could laugh at them or cry
And when it rains, I go inside
It makes sense to stay dry
But not to wonder why
For to try to explain away this life
Ignores the very peace
Of holding I

Loved or not
The peace of pure awareness
Sure hits the spot

That Lonely Embrace





Out upon some web place
I seek for you
Though I never see your real face
Then I remember:
That happiness is just within
My own space
Empty and free, I surrender
To that Lonely Embrace

A Watched Mind Never Roils





The impossibilities can seem
So strong
That all we can do
Is watch them
Until they're gone

Then why would I have so many setbacks?

Thoughts spun pointlessly
Love lost, dreams denied
But it all ends simply
When I Hold I
Until the end of time

The Winter That Never Happened









Watching resistance arise
And trying acceptance
Makes one ask:
Whence does this life
Have occurrence?

Dan's Rather





Rather than resist
Fight your feelings
Or seek
Why not let them arise
Let go
And be free?

Where there's nothing left to face
And Reality itself
Becomes your greatest home and place

Nasty Women







What do we seek
From those
Who won't give love
Only vitriol?
